10. More about diagrams in Linux

xfig is a great clipart diagramming editor the "wysiwyg" component does
not look too good when zoomed out. for example, a polygon created does
not look like a "polygon" but just jagged lines. But when zoomed in the
polygon can be seen. The rendering to postscript was also exceptionally
good with anti-aliasing. what are you guys using to edit *.fig files?
will compilation with xaw3d widgets fix this or the xaw3d libraries are
just eyecandy? the screenshots from the xfig.org site looks nicely
rendered but i thinked they zoomed it enough not to show all the ugly
aliasing and poor rendering

xfig is good for quick and dirty diagrams but if i want to have good
looking pictures with subscripts and formulas I use GNU pic/ dpic with
m4 macros. the circuit_macros package from ctan.org is one of the best
schematic drawing packages out there. The output looks like text-book
quality schematics!

6. Notes for future cyclic tasks support

<sachac> johnsu01: What kind of stuff do you do every Tuesday, anyway? =)
<sachac> johnsu01: I've been thinking of adding cyclic task support to planner-id... =)
<johnsu01> sachac: that would make me happy. cyclic tasks are what I have been using the diary for. obviously not perfect
because they are not actually tasks :)
<johnsu01> sachac: I like to have the recurring tasks pile up, so i know how far behind I am in my German, reading, etc
:)
<sachac> You'll be interested in planner-find-task and
planner-create-task-from-info. You'll need to hook into
something that gets run whenever you open a file - look at
planner-diary for ideas. Create a task based on the page
name, search forward for it, and if you don't find it on the
page, create it. Something like that?
